Standing Leg Curl

Starting Position

1. Press your body against the pad, bending one knee while keeping the opposite leg straight.

2. Position the ankle pad above the Achilles tendon of the straight leg.

3. Pull your foot towards your body so that your ankle is at a 90-degree angle.

4. Hold the handle and stabilize your body against the machine.

Proper Form

1. Engage the muscles in the back of your thigh and buttocks of the extended leg, and lift until your knee is at a 90-degree angle.

2. Lower only until your knee is fully extended while resisting the weight.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your legs and inhale when you lower them.
